WELCOME TO PERRIAM & PARTNERS


The first thing you need to know about us is that we are really good at our job, the second is that this website is updated weekly, yes weekly, and the third, it's the very reason why we come to work "passion, purpose and profit".


Perriams' success is built on forging personal relationships with our clients. Simply put, the more we invest in understanding you, your family and your business, the more valuable the insight we can offer. 


When a website doesn't include "last updated" on it's content, it begs the question "did it happen today, yesterday or 10 years ago?!" Well Perriam & Partners is about today and tomorrow. 

PERRIAMS POWER RANKINGS - 29 SEPTEMBER 2025


Each week we announce Perriams “Game Changers” for the week.


1.      The Bledisloe Cup locked away for another year. Tough luck Wallabies, it belongs at Eden Park!

 

2.      Otago can now park up the Ranfurly Shield in the trophy cabinet for the year, so the South Island has got the Super Rugby trophy, the Ranfurly Shield and now let’s see who is going to take out the NPC. Surely, we’ll take the three!

 

3.      Our Silver Ferns get over the loss of Coach Taurua with another compelling win against South Africa.



THE PACESETTER - 29 SEPTEMBER 2025


🔥HOT TOPIC

Daylight savings, how good and who cares if we lost an hour, let’s all look forward to getting much more done at the end of the day and time to shed that winter coat if you need to 😊


💡SPOTLIGHT

A recent article about Christchurch CBD gaining back shoppers from the malls has to only be good to the CBD retailers and their businesses. For too long now have the malls and their anchor tenants been favoured over a struggling CBD.


💭OPINION

Leading the front page of The Press last Saturday was that the Selwyn District in 2053 would be larger than Dunedin’s population, projecting it to be South Island’s second biggest city. The numbers are forecasting 160,000 people. What I worry about are the roads, they won’t cope.


You have to invest before the demand, have we got the egg before the chicken!


💎GEM OF THE WEEK

Eroni Clarke’s rendition of the National Anthem before the All Blacks vs. Wallabies on Saturday night, what makes this a real gem is that Caleb Clarke, nor any of his family knew anything about it.


The picture of Caleb Clarke in tears when he found out it was his Dad that was singing the national anthem will I’m sure make the Halbergs for one of the best sporting moments of the year.


🏉SPORTIFY

Both the All Blacks and the Black Ferns taking the win over the weekend in the Bledisloe Cup and the Bronze Medal match respectively.


📊OF INTEREST

In NZ, councils generate about 80% of their income from general and targeted rates with the rest coming from the likes of parking fines, amenity fees and investment interest. Now on the topic of parking fines, did you know that in the UK, there are 82,000 parking wardens employed – fact.


❓QUESTION OF THE WEEK

In fact, it could be a question we pose every week. It’s what they are now calling “pension tension”. It’s got to go to 67 and Winston Peters is pulling the strings here all for the wrong reasons, plus he won’t be around when we’re stretching the tin.


📈THE MARKETS

Despite all the doom and gloom out there, and the retail spend, Hallenstein Glassons reports a 14.4% lift in its Net Profit. Well-priced basics seem to be their recipe.
